Twilight: New Moon

[Fallen]

New Moon was better than the first movie. It still has a lot of painfully corny dialog, which is to be expected in a Twilight film. Also expect gratuitous scenes of young dudes walking around without shirts. I could have done without that, but at least I now know what a mass swoon sounds like. The werewolves looked pretty decent, as did the vampires (good casting). The fighting looked Blade 2ish ... meaning there were a lot of Undertaker choke slams, and judo throws in super-fast slow motion, you know, for the whole 2 minutes of combat that was actually in the movie. Overall, the film can be summed up as Girl is unhappy while with Vampire, Girl loses Vampire and becomes more unhappy, Werewolf fails to fill the role of missing Vampire, Girl goes and tries to get Vampire back.

I had a choice last night of getting extra hours keeping vagrants out of the MD Anderson Hospital parking lot or going to the premier with girlfriends.

Vagrant chasing ftw.

[Tisket]

I just don't get the extreme mania. It's ridiculous.

[Celephais]

Have you tried sleeping? Seriously, it's fucking awesome. Just imagine, instead of watching this movie you could have been in your bed! Insane.

[Danical]

[Inspire]

Just got back a little bit ago and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It made me excited for the next one in June.

I thankfully did not have a theatre full of screaming girls. The first time Jacob was seen shirtless one or two people whistled and everyone started giggling but that was it for the most part. (Nobody whistled for Edward when he got shirtless.)

I haven't read the books, everyone told me to but I honestly would rather see the movies and then build upon that so I probably didn't have the same expectations that some people had. All in all it's worth the cost of the ticket, I'd even go and watch it again.

[Celephais]

While you guys were watching that movie, I was just playing Left4Dead 2, I'll let you figure out who better spent their time.

(How much zombie killing is there in Twilight? I thought so..)

[Warriorbird]

I judged the girlfriend for the 'Girls Night Out' to see it... but not too much.

[BriarFox]

Overall, the film can be summed up as Girl is unhappy while with Vampire, Girl loses Vampire and becomes more unhappy, Werewolf fails to fill the role of missing Vampire, Girl goes and tries to get Vampire back.

Thanks. Now I don't have to go watch it.

[Shari]

Please explain to me what is wrong with this?

[Paradii]

All guys that went to see this movie are officially douchbags.

[BriarFox]

But, dude, I wanna get all the chicks like Ed does.

[Warriorbird]

Please explain to me what is wrong with this?

We're just bitter there aren't more 2009 movies with topless women in them.

[Amaron]

Nothing, I am going next week with friends. Screens full of tight 6packs FTW.

you must not have seen Powder Blue with Jessica Beil as a stripper.

That made up for any lack of boob quota I was not seeing this year

I must remedy this lack.

Here's one review:

Xeniphite1: Holy Fuck worst movie of all time.
Xeniphite1: I wanted to walk out in the first five mins
Xeniphite1: If your gf insists on seeing it slap her.
Xeniphite1: Hard.
Xeniphite1: There was no action.
Xeniphite1: No plot.
Xeniphite1: No acting.
Xeniphite1: My head is fucking numb.

Do you chase them with chainsaws or anything cool like that?

You have to be rather hardcore to sit through this film.

do racial slurs count?

no. my night life is fail and lacking in the awesome. on the plus side i will most definately be able to pay off my car this year. (!win!)

Nah. Actually, in all honesty, I haven't watched or seen any of the movies or TV shows, but I saw someone post this same question in another forum, so I was trying to act cool by sounding playfully inquisitive.

/fails even harder at life

[Hips]

It was better than the first movie. That's about all I can say for it.

I was listening to "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me" on NPR today and it was a solid 45 minutes of mocking Twilight and Palin back-n-forth.

I have trouble taking Twilight seriously on any level, because it violates so many of the basic tenets of what vampires (and now werewolves) are, in my book. My view was shaped a lot by White Wolf's World of Darkness and this Twilight stuff just does not fit into that mold. At all.

[LMingrone]

Another fun social experiment for me. I burnt the screener to DVD. Now I'm just walking around with it and letting everyone know that I have it. I'm not gonna watch it, but everyone hates me now for not giving them a copy, and I love it. I'm sick of hearing about this movie everywhere I go. It's like the new Titanic craze, only worse

Any movie where sunlight makes a vampire all shiny instead of burning them into a pile of ash fails by default.

10000000000000x when the vampires are all emo.

I wonder how many dumb teen girls broke up with their boyfriends over the weekend because they're not "Edward" enough.

"Edward would never talk to me like that! You don't treat me like Edward would! We're through!"

"OK BAI!"

"Edward loves me, I just know it!"

And then all these tards will start trying to be like Edward so they can hopefully get chicks.

I wonder what yesterday was like for teen girls that were grounded. It was probably the female equivalent of this:

Of course, Methais loses all his cool points due to the fact he knows the male characters name.

My gf conned me into watching the first one with her.

Not even drugs could make it bearable.

^This.

And I feel like a pedophile for agreeing. He's 17!

[Barundar]

I'm fairly sure if you get all sparkly in the sunlight you are a pixie, not a vampire. Could have my information confused though.

[B4Hand]

I took my girls, to see this last night, I got to sit in the middle of them all. Mind you there were five of them, two twelve year olds, two fifteen year olds, and one fourteen year old. There were parts of the movie I couldnt even hear..over squeals, an "oooos". The movie was surely 100x better then Twilight, I enjoyed it.

Though having to agree with Shari..I feel a bit like a pervert..Lautner was hot.



P.s My girls are still fighting about who's better..Edward or Jacob. I think however Jacob has the bigger following at the moment.

[Hips]

When Taylor Lautner took off his shirt, the whole theater gasped.


When Robert Pattinson took off his shirt, I was disgusted. What the hell were all those little scraggly hairs? Is there a reason they didn't shave/wax him before that scene? Vampires are supposed to be COLD WHITE MARBLE STATUES, not covered in disgusting little body hairs like the guys I dated in high school. Gross.

Didn't you get the memo? Twilight took almost everything about vampires and did this:

You are very obviously not an Anne Rice fan and therefore may be forgiven for lack of vampire historical FACT. Lestat got shiny marble skin with his super powers gained from The Queen of the Damned.

Ahem.

Twilight still sucks. :-X

[radamanthys]

So you have a guy who is emotionally unavailable and has the inherent desire to kill her at any moment. He's dangerous, the family doesn't trust him, and he uses his money and charm to forgive any actions that might be criminal or otherwise wrong. He maintains all the power in the relationship while she maintains none. She can't live without him; she pretty much abandons all her previous relationships and connections to be with him.

Sounds like a whole new generation of women ready to be "done told twice".

[Methais]

The difference is that it wasn't the sunlight that made Lestat look like that, it was the immense power he gained from drinking Akasha's blood. Either way, the way he was described was nothing like this Twilight stupidity, and the sun still burnt him up when he'd go in it. He was just too super ultra pwnage powerful by that time to be killed by it.

Summary:

Lestat = Perfect marble statue
Edward = Twinkle twinkle little emo star

Not always. Vampires, much like the Phantom of the Opera, have gotten makeovers as the buying power of pubescent girls continues to take a steaming shit on literary and mythology tradition.

My little brother Facebooked me saying he hates Twilight. So I go to see him yesterday. I tell him I have it on DVD, but no one will watch it.

Then, something very scary happened. He tells me he wants to watch it, not for the movie, but because he likes the two dudes in the movie. He starts a debate about which guy is "more awesome" in a very limp-wristed way.Intervention time.

But yanno, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah right! Next, he'll be debating who is hotter: Tuco or Blondie. I'm thinking of downloading the old Flipper series with Alba. Yeah, that's the key.

Recent Twilight convo I had:

Me: What did you think of New Moon?

Sister: Yeah, it was great and all but I keep thinking.. What the fuck does he do when she has her period? Just be like, Hey babe.. might now want to come over 'cause you know our pal Jasper!

Me: 0_o -- That's a good fucking point.

[Geshron]

Methais is a beacon of amazing picture replies. This movie is absolute garbage, as is the entire craze. Give me that prick from 30 Days of Night, that is some hopeless and evil shit right there. Even Bill Compton still kills people. That's all I would do if I was a vampire. Kill, bang, kill while banging, sleep all day. Jeez that is a deal.

Apparently Stephenie Meyer has actually been asked about this:

""Several girls wanted to know if Edward would have a more difficult time being around Bella when she's having her period. Answer: Yes, a little bit, but he would never say anything about it. He is much too much of a gentleman. And Bella would be way to embarrassed to ask. (It's not the same as a cut, though. It's sort of "dead" blood, if you get my meaning).""
